Answer: when the dipole moment and electric field are parallel

Explanation: The formulae that relates the potential energy of a dipole, dipole moment and strength of electric field is given as

u = p * E cosθ

Where, u= dipole potential energy, p = dipole moment, E = strength of electric field.

The expression is at maximum when θ = 0 (cos 0° = 1)

Hence the function for potential energy will be greatest when θ = 0° which implies that the dipole moment and strength of electric field are parallel to each other.

A tall tube is evacuated and its stopcock is closed. The open end of the tube is immersed in a container of water (density 10^3
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

10.19 m

Explanation:

Water will rise to equalize the pressure inside and outside the tube.

The equation of pressure is given by

p=\rho gh

Where,

p = Pressure of air = 10⁵ N/m²

ρ = Density of water = 10³ kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height the water will rise

h=\frac{p}{gh}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{10^5}{9.81\times 10^3}\\\Rightarrow h=10.19\ m

∴ The water will rise by 10.19 m.

How you can change the state of matter of the substance in the container.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Change in the shape size volume and state of a substance

When a solid is heated, it turns into a liquid. As a liquid, a substance has a fixed volume, but its shape changes to fill the shape of its container. For instance, a glass of water is the liquid state of water. ... Gas expands to fill the shape and volume of its container.

5. Find the mass of a car that is traveling at a velocity of 35 m/s West.
sattari [20]

Answer:

m = 9795.9 kg

Explanation:

v = 35 m/s

KE = 6,000,000 J

Plug those values into the following equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

6,000,000 J = (1/2)(35^2)m

---> m = 9795.9 kg

Show how the alternative definition of power, found in your book, can be derived by substituting the definitions of work and spe
Harman [31]

Let us consider body moves a distance S due to the force F.

Hence the work by the body W = FS

If the force is not along the direction of displacement,then the work by a body for travelling a distance S will be -

                                       W=[ Fcos\theta]*S  where    Fcos\theta is the component of the force along the direction of displacement.

                                  Hence\ W= FScos\theta

                                                        = F.S

As per the question the power P is given as -

                                                  P=\frac{W}{\delta t}

                                                         =\frac{F.S}{\delta t}

                                                         = F.\frac{S}{\delta t}

                                                         = \ F.V

Hence alternative definition of power P = F.V
